From the beginning, Dan and Al were great to work with. They provided us solid advice, were always there for us any time of day, and as you can imagine selling a business can have a lot of moving parts. They both know the environmental industry very well, especially Al since he came from the industry. That certainly made the process easier because we did not have to educate 2020 Environmental on the intricacies of the environmental industry. The evaluation was accurate and we certainly learned to trust the process. I would not have wanted to enter the sale process without 2020 Environmental by our side. 2020 Environmental provided us with an excellent tutorial of the process every step of the way with knowledge and patience.
